PC shipments worse than expected ... even Asia has stopped buying.
Is it a surprise that PC shipments are declining? No, but two things stand out: the magnitude of the decline was steeper than expected, and now the Asians have stopped buying. That's news.
Worldwide PC shipments dropped 13.9 percent, compared to the same quarter in 2012, much worse than the forecast decline of down 7.7 percent, according to IDC. Apple PC shipments are down, but not as much as Dell or Hewlett-Packard.
This was the steepest decline ever in a single quarter ... IDC has been tracking PC shipments since 1994.
The decline may not be shocking in the U.S., but the magnitude was big (12.7 percent decline year-over-year (YOY). and THIS is a surprise: a 12.7 percent decline YOY in Asia (ex-Japan). THAT was unexpected, the first double-digit decline in Asia ever.
This has implications beyond Microsoft, where weak sales of Windows 8 is taking much of the blame. The cannibalization trend is accelerating in consumer PCs as mobile device performance has improved. The good news is that most component makers make chips for both markets.
What to do if you're a tech trader? There was the Apple trade for years, but that's not working ... so what to trade? Even Broadcom got a downgrade at Barclays. There's some interest in security names like Symantec, SourceFire, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet—which missed earnings estimates last night on weak government spending.
1) Japanese stocks again up big pre-market: Nomura, Toyota Motor.
Among traders, it is widely believed that some of the recent rise on Wall Street is due to waves of Japanese buyers coming into the U.S., supplementing the European buyers already here. There hasn't been a lot of data to support the belief. An article in today's Financial Times throws some doubt on this: Weekly data from Japan's Ministry of Finance indicated that Japanese investors dumped foreign bonds recently.
Note these are bond sales, not stock sales, but the belief that Japanese investors would go on a yield-hunting buying spree outside Japan is a commonplace, and a lot of non-Japanese investors have been front-running that anticipated buying by shorting the yen.
Strange. Personally, I find it hard to believe the Japanese investors would not be buying outside Japan. It doesn't make sense not to.
2) Retail same-store sales: Who cares? I'm sorry, it just doesn't matter much anymore. No J.C. Penney. No Target. No Wal-Mart Stores. One by one, they've all stopped reporting monthly sales. Of roughly 120 publicly traded companies, only 14 still report monthly same store sales. Sigh.
Still there? OK, L Brands was much better, up 3 percent vs. expectations of 0.4 percent (led by Bath and Body), but Costco Wholesale and TJX were below expectations.
3) Oh my! I found a company that says they are hiring ... maybe. Buried in Pier 1 Import's earnings report this morning was this statement: "This year, we will be making prudent investments, including additional headcount, to support our growth." Earnings were in-line, and it will continue its share repurchase program.

In this frame grab taken from video obtained by the Virginian-Pilot newspaper, U.S. Navy Capt. Owen Honors appears in one of a series of profanity-laced comedy sketches that were broadcast on the USS Enterprise via closed-circuit television. A top officer aboard a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier broadcast to his crew the series of sketches in which he uses gay slurs, mimics masturbation and opens the shower curtain on women pretending to bathe together, a newspaper reported. The Virginian-Pilot reported in its Sunday editions that Capt. Owen Honors appeared in the videos in 2006 and 2007 while he was the USS Enterprise's second-ranking officer, and showed them across the ship on closed-circuit television. He took over as the ship's commander in May. (AP Photo/The Virginian Pilot)

Well the avatar is unique. Kind of annoying after a while, though. Neverthless pretty cool. 9/10
The signature is cool but seems to be an inside joke with the quote (I see now that the avatar matches). I think linking pictures or random music in signatures is kind of weird, but I do like the song at least 8/10
My avatar and signature are pretty basic, but I like them. The majority of forum browsing I do here is based on WoW. And of course Floatzel is my favorite Pokemon.

Quick, Easy, and Quality Service – I've been servicing my car at San Francisco Toyota for two years now. Every visit has been easy and painless. They're professionals and impressive. They know what they're doing. I'm always comfortable that my car is in the best hands possible. I can't say the same about my previous experiences at other shops.
I used to go to their Van Ness location. Routine 5,000-mile checkups would take about two hours. Now, I go to the new location on Geary. The longest I've waited for a routine oil change/ inspection there is 40 minutes. They say it will be an hour, but it's always faster. I've never had any difficulty scheduling an appointment. Usually, I make appointments online. I'm always able to get in when I want to.
My recent visit is what prompted me to write a review, though. My car was in an accident. My first thought was to go to a body shop. However, I was concerned about the electrical components and decided to go to SF Toyota first. This turned out to be a good call. Peter, the manager, was extremely helpful. He called me multiple times throughout the process to keep me updated. They took care of everything including the removal and reapplication of my carpool stickers. The car is good as new. What really got me fired up though, was the quick turnaround time. I dropped the car off on Friday morning. Peter told me it would be ready by Wednesday of the following week. Instead, he called me that Monday. The car was ready two days early. For me, that meant two less days in a rental.
I'd recommend these guys to anyone. In my assessment, it's not the typical car dealership experience.

We lost a tough one with the Astros yesterday as they blew a 3-0 and lost on a walk off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was still a successful series though as Houston took two of three and head home trying get some payback following a three-game sweep at Oakland last week. Brett Oberholtzer takes the hill for the Astros and despite them going 0-4 in his four starts, he has pitched much better than that. He has only one quality start but he has not allowed more than three runs in any outing and the three that failed to miss quality status were missed by a total of an inning and a third. One of those games game in Oakland where he allowed one run in 5.2 innings but it resulted in a 4-3 loss. Look for him to continue his efficient pitching. The A's were swept at home by Texas so they bring in very little momentum. Scott Kazmir will look to turn things around for his team and he has been outstanding to open the season. He has a 1.65 ERA and 0.77 WHIP through four starts with Oakland going 4-0 in those games thanks to all resulting in quality performances. This includes the win over Oberholtzer but I do not see this holding up. He made one start in Houston last season while with the Indians and was shelled for six runs in 3.1 innings.

text: Don McCabe Archives 'We Support Agriculture' Launched at Husker Harvest Days Goal is to prepare Nebraska for action by extreme animal rights groups. Published on: Sep 14, 2011 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Animal rights groups like the Humane Society of the United States are increasing efforts to tighten the screws on animal agriculture. And it's not out of the question HSUS will seek a ballot initiative or legislative action in Nebraska, based on its success in states like Ohio and California. This activity by "extreme animal rights groups" has prompted the formation in Nebraska of a new organization called We Support Agriculture. The five organizations forming WSA officially launched their effort at Husker Harvest Days Tuesday, Sept. 13, after first making presentations that day in Omaha and Lincoln. WSA also announced the launch of its website: www.wesupportag.org.Pete McClymont, president of the newly formed We Support Agriculture, speaks at a press conference during husker Harvest Days. WSA's purpose is to educate Nebraskans about modern agriculture methods and also to defend agriculture against attacks and misinformation about modern technology used to raise livestock, according to Pete McClymont, WSA president and vice president of government affairs with Nebraska Cattlemen. "Nebraska's farmers and ranchers are caring people who know how to care for their animals properly," says McClymont. "They go to great lengths to protect their animals from disease, predators and the harsh Nebraska climate while feeding their neighbors and the world." WSA leadership consists of following Nebraska agriculture organizations: Nebraska Cattlemen, Nebraska Farm Bureau, Nebraska Pork Producers Association, Nebraska Poultry Industries, and the Nebraska State Dairy Association. WSA is also supported by the Nebraska Veterinary Medical Association and the Nebraska State Chamber of Commerce. In addition, 12 city chambers of commerce in Nebraska have passed resolutions supporting animal agriculture. "All of these groups fully understand the economic impact of animal agriculture in our state, McClymont says. "Nebraska agriculture is vital to our state's economy and the Nebraska way of life," McClymont says. "One out of every three jobs in Nebraska involves food production, manufacture or delivery. Nebraska agriculture generates more than $15 billion in economic activity every year. Livestock alone accounts for more than $7 billion in economic activity. Nebraska agriculture helps fund Nebraska schools, roads and local governments. This industry is worth protecting from attacks and misinformation by outside groups who want to radically change--or in some cases eliminate--agriculture as we know it in Nebraska." There has been increased activity across the country by animal rights groups who have an agenda to make Americans eat less food originating from animals--such as meat, eggs, and dairy--by instituting "hostile" regulations that will increase the price of these foods and make them much more difficult to produce, says Jay Rempe with the Nebraska Farm Bureau. This negatively affects consumers by inflating the cost of food and limiting the availability of nutritious food choices for their families. WSA's goal is to defend agriculture against this extreme agenda, he adds. Animal rights groups that are targeting animal agriculture, in addition to HSUS, are the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and the Animal Legal Defense Fund. Rempe says HSUS annually brings in $100 to $105 million a year, but less than 1% is given to local animal shelters. "Twenty-two million of that amount is spent on fundraising activities, he says. "We need to be ready here in Nebraska," Rempe says.

But Grace is home to more than just architectural wonders. Lobsterfest, a community gathering where visitors can play games, hear songs and, of course, eat lobster, returns Oct. 26.
The spirit of Lobsterfest hasn't changed over the 17 years since the event's inauguration, but the size certainly has.
"The founders did all of the cooking from their home kitchens," said Sherri Sumners, president of the Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce and chairwoman of Lobsterfest. The event swelled over the years, with bigger kitchens and a whole lot more lobster.
According to Sumners, Lobsterfest gets between 1,000 and 1,200 Maine lobsters each year, delivered live via refrigerated truck to the church, where they go directly into waiting stockpots. Then they're served up whole on big platters, with the baked potato and cole slaw sides on separate dishes.
"It's far too much to get on one plate," Sumners said, not least of all because the lobsters at Lobsterfest tend to be a little large, around 1 ¼ pounds.
"We prefer to wait a little bit into the season," said Dr. David Whetstone, deacon at Grace Episcopal. "If they molt, it takes a little while for them to fill out the new shell."
Lobsterfest isn't just about food, however — jewelry making, pottery, ceramics and arts exhibits give visitors interesting sights to see while bouncy houses and games keep the kids occupied. And to keep ears entertained Kelli Johnson, Jamie Smith and Tom Potts, Bill Adams and Taylor Adams will be playing live music from noon to 5 p.m.
Over the years, the staff at Grace has learned a few tricks to make the most of the event. Any leftover lobsters will be cooked and frozen to save for later. Not right away — everyone has usually had their fill of lobster the day after Lobsterfest — but soon after, the frozen lobster is cooked up and put to use.
"We end up serving it as a bisque at church meetings," said Sumners with a laugh.
Lobsterfest is Oct. 26 from noon to 7 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church on Leighton Ave. Lobsterfest offers both takeout and dine-in options, as well as live lobsters for those who'd like to cook at home. Meals are $22 and include lobster, baked potato, cole slaw, bread and tea — lobster by itself is $16 whether cooked or crawling. All proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity. Call 256-364-4457 to order in advance. Waiting until the day of the event is not recommended.

Hints for home cooks
If you've decided to cook your own lobster, there are a few helpful tips to keep in mind:
1. Boiling lobster is surprisingly simple; just make sure your stock pot has enough water to submerge the lobster completely. Get the water to a rolling boil, hot enough that the water keeps bubbling even when stirred.
2. Leave the rubber bands on the claws until after the lobster is cooked. Those claws are stronger than they look, so why take a risk?
3. Boil the lobster for 10 minutes. Let steam clear when you open the pot, and be sure to use tongs to reach in and out of the water.
4. Eating lobster straight from the shell with drawn butter is great, but there are several other options if you're feeling adventurous. Lobster bisque is a thick, creamy lobster soup; lobster rolls are like lobster sandwiches on grilled, buttered bread; or you can even make lobster macaroni or lobster pizza. There are plenty of recipes online to make the most of your crustacean cuisine.

I've gotten into a lot of arguments over the past week or so, ever since the final report that officially names Lance Armstrong and a supporting cast of teammates as dopers and cheaters. Frankly, most of the arguments I've been in stem from my distaste for whistleblowers and snitches who came forward with information after the fact.
Did I just say snitches? Am I really going to compare the Lance Armstrong scandal with the mafia, like Lance is some sort of godfather or Tony Soprano figure in the world of cycling? Well, it's hard not to, especially when you read this quote that appeared on the front page of last Sunday's New York Times.
"Lance Armstrong never came up," Tour de California Director Andrew Messick recalled of a 2010 interview with Floyd Landis, who at the time, was coming clean about doping in the world of professional cycling. "But he did make a comment on the mafia. He said, When you're in the mafia and you get caught and go to jail, you keep your mouth shut, and the organization takes care of your family. In cycling, you're expected to keep your mouth shut when you test positive, but you become an outcast. Everyone turns their back on you."
I find it hard to believe that the world of pro cycling was so intense, so corrupt and so flawed that it should be compared to the inner-workings of a ruthless mafia family. But, hey, I shouldn't be so obtuse here – when there's a lot of money at stake, that's when mafia-like politics take shape.
In the back of my mind, I've always believed Armstrong was doping at some point during his run toward seven straight Tour de France titles. I think this has been in the back of most people's minds over the years. So when this report finally came out on Oct. 10, there were many questions to be answered. How prevalent was doping on the U.S. Postal Service Team? How widespread was the doping culture? Was Lance really the ringleader? How did Lance beat the system for so long?
All of the answers these questions will be fascinating. For me, though, the most mysterious aspect is the mystery of what caused all of these cyclists and former teammates of Armstrong to come clean and out Armstrong as the world's largest doper and cycling fraud? Why now? What happened to that mafia-style code of silence regarding Armstrong?
The story that appeared in Sunday's New York Times gives a rough timeline of when the cycling world shifted against Armstrong – it all started with that interview Landis gave to Messick back in 2010. Because the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency was inept in garnering a positive doping test from Armstrong, it decided to invest in a sort of RICO Act investigation, relying on snitches.
From Landis, the investigation went to David Zabriskie, who showed up at a courthouse in 2010 to explain to investigators that being pushed to use drugs was one of the worst things he's had to experience,because his father had a terrible history of drug use.
Next in line was George Hincapie, who raced alongside Armstrong for all seven of his Tour titles. Hincapie met with federal investigators voluntarily in 2010 to tell them he had doped, and that Armstrong was a doper too. From there, the investigation snowballed, picking up snitches at every corner. After all was said and done, in the investigation, the list of Armstrong teammates and pro cyclists who submitted sworn affidavits was long and noteworthy. Those riders include Landis, Zabriskie, Hincapie, Frankie Andreu, Tyler Hamilton Levi Leipheimer, Michael Barry, Tom Danielson, Stephen Swart, Christian Vande Velde, and Jonathan Vaughters.
According to The Times, only Hamilton and Leipheimer opened up when a subpoena for a grand jury compelled them to. Everyone else decided they'd had enough of Lance's legacy and turned on him.
Don't get me wrong here. If there is a villain in all of this, it is Armstrong. Call him what you will. He's a cheat, a fraud, a liar, doper, druggie, whatever. Just turn on any sports talk radio station these days and you'll hear even more names called out. But I do think all of these turncoats should be called out as well. I am never impressed when a whistleblower blows the whistle – way after the fact.
Frankly, all of Armstrong's teammates basked in the glory of victory over the years. They enjoyed the limelight. No, they weren't Lance, but they were a part of Lance's glory, and at the time, they all seemed to be pretty OK with the glory of winning. Why blow the whistle when things are fun? No, they waited until the glory days had ended – and then they blew the whistle. The fact of the matter is, these cyclists doped alongside Armstrong when it was convenient. Now they want to be good guys again.
What if they blew the whistle back in the day? What would Armstrong have done? Hired thugs to break some kneecaps? Maybe, but I suspect not. Would they be confined to a boring life inside a federal witness protection agency? Probably not.
The fact of the matter here is that these cyclists are good at following the leader. None of these guys had the balls to think on their own. When Armstrong and his cronies handed them various forms of illegal substances, what did they do? They took them. They followed the leader. When Landis started talking to investigators, what did the others do? They followed the leader and talked as well. Talk about a group of professional athletes without an ability to think and make decisions on their own. (At least Armstrong is sticking to his innocence. As crazy and as wrong as it seems, at least he is sticking to his story. He's kind of like a young version of Ron Paul. Crazy and unwavering.)
I should mention former pro cyclist Scott Mercier in all of this. Here's a guy who didn't follow the leader. He was the one who was able to do what no one else did and refused to dope. As a U.S. Postal Service rider, Mercier resisted the doping, but in doing so, he had to turn down the offer of a new contract with the team and basically was forced to quit.
So, I guess, that was the major punishment for not doping – you get kicked off the team. Mercier was forced out of the sport he loved because he showed integrity in his decision-making. It's too bad all those other snitches couldn't follow Mercier as a leader. If they had, perhaps Mercier would still be riding and the cycling world of doping wouldn't have gone this far.
Instead, all those whistleblowers chose to follow Armstrong into false glory, and now they want redemption.
Well, I'm not going to give it to them.
Twitter: @gusgusj
I've gotten into a lot of arguments over the past week or so, ever since the final report that officially names Lance Armstrong and a supporting cast of teammates as dopers and cheaters. Frankly, most of the arguments I've been in stem from my distaste for whistleblowers and snitches who came forward with information after the fact.

How Beauty Procedures Looked In The 1930s-40sBy Dovilas • Nov 22nd, 2013 • Category: Creative Products, Funny, History, Latest Posts
History can be a heavy subject, but it doesn't have to be. Here's an awesome collection of photographs from the 1920s-1940s covering something a little bit more light-hearted and everyday – women's beauty products and procedures. People had regular everyday lives back then as well. They worried about many of the same things then that we worry about now. However, curling your hair or smoothing your wrinkles 60-70 years ago looked a lot different than it does now.

Here is a public service announcement from Disney on its new "Heroes Work Here" program.
In a move to help returning military veterans and "recognize and honor" their service, the Walt Disney Co. on Tuesday announced a new companywide initiative to train and hire more than 1,000 vets over the next three years.
Disney CEO Robert Iger made the announcement at a shareholders meeting in Kansas City on Tuesday. The theme parks and entertainment giant said it will also launch a nationwide public awareness campaign for other companies to follow.
"As a new generation of America's military men and women transition into civilian life, we are increasing our commitment and support for these modern day heroes," Iger said. "It's a measure of our respect for how much they have sacrificed on our behalf, and our sincere gratitude for their extraordinary contributions to this country."
The company said it also plans to contribute money to selected non-profit organizations that provide training and other support services to veterans. In addition, Disney employees will participate in service projects with veterans organizations throughout the country.
The "Heroes Work Here" program, according to the company, will span all areas of Disney's operations, including ESPN and Disney Parks and Resorts.
The company has set up a webpage to assist veterans in their job search.
In a similar effort, General Electric Co. in February said it planned to hire 5,000 U.S. military veterans over the next five years.

Chilopsis linearis 'Warren Jones'
Desert Willow, Desert Catalpa
Deciduous, Shrubs, Trees, Flowers
The plant grows to 15–30 ft. tall, 10–20 ft.wide; grows fast at first (as much as 3 ft. in a season), then slows. With age, develops shaggy bark and twisting trunks. Narrow, willow-type leaves 2–5 in. long. Spring to fall, produces fragrant trumpet-shaped blossoms with crimped lobes, similar to those of catalpa; blooms are like small cattleya orchids and attract hummingbirds. Flower color varies among seedlings—may be reddish purple, lavender, rose, pink, or white, often marked with purple and gold. Nurseries select for good color, large size, ruffled form. Gallon-size plants can bloom first year. Drops leaves early; holds a heavy crop of catalpa-like seedpods through winter and can look messy. Thin growth to enhance picturesque shape.'Warren Jones'
Large, ruffled blossoms in pure, unshaded pink with paler throat. Holds leaves long; evergreen in warm-winterclimates.
Chilopsis linearis 'AZT Desert Amethyst'
All-purple flowers; 15 to 30 ft. tall and wide.

Out of the Humidor
CA Readers
From the Print Edition:
maduro issue, Winter 93/94
Dear Marvin:
After my first wife died, I made a habit of smoking my first cigar in bed before breakfast. When I was making the decision for my second marriage, I wanted to make sure that I would still be able to continue to do this, so as part of our prenuptial agreement, it was included that I could smoke a cigar before breakfast in my bed. However, I was very accommodating. I had an air conditioner installed right over my head, and I'd put the fan on so it would draw out most of the smoke.
Sidney E. Frank
New Rochelle, New York
* * *
Dear Marvin:
I'm sitting in my office this morning with a cup of coffee, a Hoyo de Monterrey and CIGAR AFICIONADO. While reading letters from my cigar-smoking compatriots, what a relief to discover that I am not alone.
Having smoked cigars for more than 20 years, I have experienced every form of abuse you could imagine. My wife and family are insidious in their disdain. My employees accept it only for obvious reasons. Strangers are abusive and often militant.
Over the years, I have retreated (with many cigars) to the only remaining safe haven: my office. It is here, I decided, that I would make my last stand. Resolute yet courteous, I even made an effort to accommodate visitors to my office on the top floor of a 22-story building. I had a very powerful exhaust blower installed directly over my desk. Days later, building management conducted a search to discover the origin of the cigar scent throughout the building. They discovered that the installers, instead of venting through the roof, had vented to the mechanical shaft that runs from the top to the bottom of the building. Each time an elevator ran, it created a vacuum, which sucked the air (and my cigar smoke) down the mechanical shaft, spreading it throughout the building.
Imagine my surprise and anger! More than 600 building occupants had been participating in my private moments of unadulterated bliss. I felt violated. My indignation increased with the realization that these people were undeserving of the experience. I had unknowingly exposed them to the scent of a culture that they could never hope to comprehend.
Needless to say, I took quick, decisive action to assure that these malcontents would never have such an opportunity again. Brutal, yes, but they caused my exile, and I'll be damned if they will share my private pleasure.

Customer Raves & Reviews
excellent wedding invitation ensemble
Nautical Feelings Pocket Invitations The Magnet Street website was a real life saver for us! We ordered save the date magnets and were so pleased with the process that we ordered the wedding invitations. This site allowed us to design drafts and share them long distance until we could settle on what we wanted. We were able to change designs to match our colors, order several different designs of "Just one" samples and be able to get a real feel for what the end product would look and feel like and then apply that cost to our final order. My daughter is in Medical School, doing rotations, and has no time for wedding planning, appointments etc. so this website made what otherwise would have been a difficult process easy for us to accomplish long distance. THANK YOU!

Republic Services' growth over the past decade has placed it at the center of a merger-and-acquisition battle among the industry's giants.
What is in this article?:
More About:
In Late June, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Republic Services, the third-largest hauling firm in the country, made major headlines when it reached an agreement to purchase Phoenix-based Allied Waste Industries, the nation's second-largest hauler.
According to the terms of the all-stock deal, Allied stockholders would receive 0.45 Republic shares for each Allied share they own. The combined company would be called Republic Services and be headquartered in Phoenix. Its annual revenues would exceed $9 billion and have a market capitalization of approximately $12 billion.
Officials from both companies praised the deal — which, pending customary shareholder and regulatory approval, could close in the fourth quarter of this year — and began the arduous task of planning the integration.
However, Republic's summer was only beginning. Suddenly, in addition to planning its marriage with Allied, the firm found itself fending off the feverish advances of the richest kid in town.
Apparently none too thrilled about the prospect of its two biggest rivals joining forces, Houston-based Waste Management, the industry's largest hauling firm with more than $13 billion in revenue in 2007, made an unsolicited, all-cash offer in July to buy Republic and derail the merger. In making the offer, Waste Management CEO David Steiner released a statement saying that his company's $34-per-share offer would provide "a better and more certain value alternative to Republic stockholders" than the Allied deal.
Republic rejected the offer four days later and reaffirmed its commitment to the Allied deal. In his notification letter to Steiner, James O'Connor, Republic's chairman and CEO, claimed that Waste Management's proposal "seriously" undervalued his firm and added that the offer would "deny Republic stockholders the opportunity provided by the merger between Republic and Allied." He also wrote that a Republic-Waste Management combination would raise regulatory concerns.
Refusing to take no for an answer, Waste Management quickly laid the groundwork for a hostile takeover attempt by filing for federal approval to acquire a more than 1 percent stake in Republic. Such requests initiate antitrust investigations by the U.S. Justice Department.
In a late July conference call to discuss his firm's second-quarter financial results, Steiner noted that his firm is preparing a response to Republic's rejection letter and said Waste Management still is "looking to do a transaction with the cooperation of Republic." He also would not rule out a possible hostile takeover attempt of Republic.
To protect against such a takeover attempt by Waste Management, Republic recently adopted a "poison pill" plan. Also called a stockholder rights plan, the poison pill would penalize anyone who acquired more than 10 percent of Republic common stock (for entities already holding more than 10 percent, the threshold would be 20 percent) without the firm's approval.
The goal of a poison pill is to make an unwelcome potential acquirer call off a takeover attempt. Republic hasn't specified its penalty. Among the various techniques, though, the takeover target might allow existing shareholders — but not the potential acquirer — to buy more shares at a discount and therefore dilute the shares held by the firm attempting the takeover. The takeover attempt in turn is made more expensive.
That's where the situation stood as Waste Age went to press. [For the most up-to-date coverage of this story, visit www.wasteage.com.]
So, what makes Republic an appealing potential partner?
Solid Foundation
"Republic is an investment grade company," says Leone T. Young, a research analyst who follows the waste industry for Citi, a New York-based financial services company. "Of the three major waste companies, Republic has the strongest balance sheet. It has the lowest debt-to-capital ratio in the industry."
Either a Republic-Allied or a Republic-Waste Management combination would probably produce value for shareholders, Young says. "In our preliminary analysis, we estimated that the Allied-Republic merger would be accretive between 10 to 15 cents per share without synergies," she says. "Synergies would add another 15 cents per share."
"Synergy" refers to cost savings that the combined companies would generate. Young's analysis found that a combined Republic and Allied would see annual operating costs decline by about $100 million. The savings less taxes would flow directly to the bottom line.
"If Waste Management were to acquire Republic, our preliminary analysis indicated that accretion would total approximately 25 to 30 cents," Young says.
Another way of looking at the combinations is to note that the effect of the lower operating costs would be to increase cash flow, which presumably would raise the stock price. "With increased cash flow, we have the ability to raise dividends and pay down debt," says Tod Holmes, Republic's chief financial officer.
It is important to note that while Young's analysis projects $100 million in cost savings in the first year after either potential transaction, Republic's projections, calculated only for the merger with Allied, project $150 million in synergies by the third year of combined operations. Waste Management, meanwhile, estimates that a merger with Republic also would ultimately produce $150 million in annual operational savings.
Republic has earned the respect of the broader business community by refusing to chase revenues at the expense of profits. The Allied-Republic merger makes sense to Republic and Allied because of the powerful effect the firms say the combination will have on profits and on shareholder value.
"The value proposition of an Allied-Republic merger does not exist any place else," Holmes says. "Think of it this way, the combined entity will be worth about 8.5 times EBITDA."
"EBITDA" stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. It is a measure of cash produced by a company's operations. The Republic-Allied merger would add about $150 million in synergies or cash freed up through cost reductions to EBITDA and raise the value of the merged company by about $1.3 billion (8.5 multiplied by $150 million), Holmes says.
In addition to the potential benefits that either merger would have for shareholders, other waste services may benefit from asset divestitures that could be ordered as part of antitrust investigations by the U.S. Justice Department. An article by the mergermarket news service that appears on the Financial Times' Web site (www.FT.com) in late July notes that firms such as Folson, Calif.-based Waste Connections; Lombard, Ill.-based Veolia Environmental Services; Raleigh, N.C.-based Waste Industries and Toronto-based BFI Canada are some of the larger waste firms that may be interested in buying divested assets.
